originaljackass | Ch. 4 - People spend their whole lives wishing they were Jack of Fables

[Great thing about New Feather cycles? Lots of pretty new faces, all of them in skimpy sundresses, many of them in need of a strapping hero to get them settled in. Jack has been kind enough to oblige a fair number of them. Not as many as he'd like, as he's been beaten to the punch several times. ~~Hiatuses, go figure.~~]

[Written]

To all the hotties out there, New Feathers or not, I'm Jack of the Tales. I'm in the market for helping out with some odd tasks. A man's got to keep himself busy, right? So lay something on me. As long as it ain't scrubbing toilets, I'm up for it. But just know that my usual line of work is hero business. It's part of why I'm so legendary.

[Some pen taps go here before:] In fact, if anyone's got any suggestions for a more permanent line of work, I'll hear it. [True, Jack is a conman and likes to skirt by doing nothing, but he's been doing that for a month now and it's going to drive him crazy.]

[Answers to his question or not, Jack is going to take a walk around town, with an absentminded dog-sized blue ox following him around. Jack could care less about the company. Aside from stopping in on the stores, he'll be having dinner at Seventh Heaven and later having a beer at Good Spirits. Also, he might be hanging around outside C4 for any new renters that have moved in. Of the female persuasion, of course, but he'll talk to guys too. He just won't care as much.]

((ooc: I suck at hiatus okay, shut up. Tags will come in spurts here and there.))

Hardly, but you can never have too many friends of the female persuasion.

This? True. You're going to work for them, then?

I suppose a man of your time wouldn't know the implications of a woman asking a good looking man to come over to fix a leaky faucet.

Perhaps not; I'd hold out for more better jobs than THAT, Horner. Wait for the ones what want you to organize their underwear drawer. That sort of thing.

We'd both be waiting a long time for that job to come up, pal.

That? Probably true. You know, you could just drop the hero bit and maraud like a decent ne'er do well.

My outlaw days are a thing of my past, Sparrow. I'm a changed man, a good and honest law abiding citizen. [When it suits him.]

B. O. R. I. N. G.

Spells "Not of interest to the wenches."

Good for me. I prefer a higher class of ladies than wenches and whores.

Wise of you. They'll steal all your valuables, that class of woman.

A hard learned lesson that. [One he's experienced a few times. Not so much anymore. Never let your guard down, even around a beautiful woman who wants to boink you every night.]

A hard lesson indeed. What sorts of permanent work does a non-boring legend go into, then?

Not sure. I usually don't do that sort of thing. Serve drinks, maybe? Or maybe I could be the guy that does all the flower deliveries.

At the bar? [With Buffy? NOT GOOD.]

Lots of flower deliveries, are there?

I don't know anywhere else that serves drinks.

Don't know. Could be the start of something.

Taking flowers to beautiful wenches? Aye. Could be. Luck to you, Horner.

Though it might dissuade any male customers from making use of my services.

[Oh for the STOP BEING INSUFFERABLE.]

Dunno; why shouldn't they be taken with you as well?

Wouldn't be the first time. But if this is you're way of telling me you're interested - I gotta say, you ain't my type.

Hilarious, you.

I try.
